- [A]n unnamed CIA briefer . . . flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the summer of 2001, amid reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US."
Bush heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."

Needs an optometrist for the foresight, it turns out, but the hindsight has been 20/20 since mid-September, 2001.
